Which is why if I'm made the grand pooba of NCAAF I will take the 128 FBS teams and make 8 conferences. Each conference (16 teams) will have two divisions.

Ya know, Tony Romo summed up the game of football in a few words during his press conference after the game he was injured in. He said "The NFL is about overcoming adversity". Well that is football overall as well. You overcome playing against a guy with more talent than you or is stronger or faster. You overcome injuries. You overcome mistakes you or someone on your team made. You overcome losses as well. "Best" changes week to week and is answered by which team did the best job at overcoming adversity over the course of a long season. Being "best" at the end of the season is the goal of all teams. There is a reason they keep score and there is a reason win/loss records matter.

I don't understand why people think that? If an undefeated NW beats an undefeated OSU in the Conference Championship game, that should be the first elimination of any playoff system. I simply don't agree with you on this one. Say NW & OSU proved to be the cream of the crop this year and both go into the conference championship undefeated. NW wins in a close one and OSu is eliminated even though they are better than another one loss GA/bama/FSU/Clemson? The conference championships are just that ... ie not part of the playoff. The four best teams should be in the playoffs. An 8 team playoff would probably make this a mute point. And who would declare that a 1 loss OSU is better than those teams? An 8 team playoff ain't gonna happen any time soon. We could let Ranger_556 predict who is better and go with the opposite team. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Being "best" at the end of the season is the goal of all teams. There is a reason they keep score and there is a reason win/loss records matter. Not a single person I know of in Germany has ever said that the team who is at the top of the table at the end of the season isn't the champion - even if the team at the top lost a few games at the end but had enough points to stay in first. That part all comes down to a matter of opinion. College football, due to the large number of teams, has no way to determine a champion in a way that could be determined without a playoff. Personally I think 4 teams is enough. 8 would be better, but then the team in ninth place would be bitching. Someone will always be left out. One of the other reasons I like 4 teams is because it places more emphasis on the regular season. You'd better have a damn good one if you want to make it to the playoff. |

I can't watch pro football mostly because the regular season mostly doesn't matter. 10-6? great year! 15-0? secured home playoff---time to bench the starters (2009 colts). The absolute best things about college football is that every game matters. Obviously I come from the school of thought that you have to look at a team's whole body of work. |

The 9th team might bitch that they're better than the 8th team but in the history of NCAAF I don't think a 9th team has ever had a legitimate claim to being #1. A 5th team has. I know you honestly believe that, but I want you to think about what you wrote carefully. Then using your logic to explain how a wild card NFL team could win the SuperBowl, knowing it has happened multiple times. Here is a hint. When the playoffs start, the previous records are out the window and everyone is 0-0 and you step up your game or go home. AND every single one of these players know it because they all played in a system like that in HS. A true college football "win and you are in" playoff system will make college football the most glorious sports in the history of sports. Every year the playoffs will be the most dominate sports event of the years. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Baylor and TCU currently have the 82nd and 72nd rated defenses in the nation. (Total defense) I do think a UF/TT matchup would be interesting. But the last time a highly-regarded, record setting Big 12 offense faced UF, the Gators came away with a national championship, despite being told that they'd be lucky to hold the Sooners under 45 points. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I don't think TT would score 4 TDs on UF TTs only losses have come against top 5 teams, but their only wins have come against teams with losing records Look how many points they scored on those Top 5 teams. I know y'all won't believe this, but TCU has been historically a defensive minded football team. Under Patterson, TCU has been the number one defensive team in the country multiple times and in the Top 5 a few more times. Obviously, that is a little harder to do playing in the Big 12. I think we can all agree on that, but last year they were still 8th. They play defense pretty well. Like Baylor is a mostly run oriented football team. It just doesn't seem like it because all of the highlights are 60 plus yard pass plays. I would like to see some of the games we are already discussing. TT and Florida would be interesting. I think TT will end up being "better" than some people consider them right now. They are probably the 4th best team in the Big 12 behind TCU, Baylor and OU. I just looked and Florida is playing defense comparable to Alabama at this point of the season. Less than 3 yards rushing per attempt and just over 10 yards passing per attempt. Under 3 rushing is pretty danged good for any team IMO, but I bet those numbers would change if they played Baylor and TCU. Baylor and TCU currently have the 82nd and 72nd rated defenses in the nation. (Total defense) I do think a UF/TT matchup would be interesting. But the last time a highly-regarded, record setting Big 12 offense faced UF, the Gators came away with a national championship, despite being told that they'd be lucky to hold the Sooners under 45 points. 2. demarco murray didn't play, but damn that was good game and UF was up to the challenge. |

I don't think there would be much bitching if the pool was larger. You don't hear much in the other leagues / sports where the playoff pools are deeper. It becomes more and more difficult to justify when someone is complaining about being left out of a deeper pool. 5 is usually always going to be able to have a decent argument of why they should have been included. 9 gets much harder to justify the argument and 17 starts getting way too difficult. A deeper playoff pool would also bring new fans / additional viewers to the sport. I know a lot of people myself included that don't watch the NFL, NBA or MLB but start following what's going on and watching some games when the playoffs start. |

The NFL doesn't suffer as much of a disparity in the level of competition as college football does. You take a 10-2 college team ranked 5th with a SOS of #8 who finished 2nd in their division and they get left out of the playoffs when someone else is included at 11-1 with an SOS of say 41 who won their conference? If you could eliminate the level of competition disparity between schedules it would hold more weight but with 128 teams that's impossible. |

Oh good lord, this argument again.
I've been out of town/busy/sick, but did manage to get home in time on Saturday to watch the games. Just didn't have the energy to catch up on the thread until today. A&M's defense continues to look better, but still weak on defending the run. If that doesn't change, Alabama is going to be trouble in two weeks, and if Fournette is healthy in November he's going to really be trouble. I'm really hoping the play calling is at least partially a result of only having one real running back at the moment. Gotta hope Carson stays healthy, because he's all we have right now. Really would like to see White get healthy and get some carries. The team is markedly better than last year. At this point I doubt we will see a huge drop off like we did last season. But I'm still not sold on them being conference championship contenders this year. |

Gotta be able to finish those drives and get short yardage. The defense was awesome though, a few too many penalties though. |

White had a few carries during the game, but seemed to be notably absent in the second half. Gotta be able to finish those drives and get short yardage. The defense was awesome though, a few too many penalties though. That part makes me think he's not 100% yet, which means we're still relying on Carson. Carson's good, but I like having healthy back up options...they always seem to be critical by the time November rolls around. Sumlin said post game he twisted his ankle Taped it up on sidelines and he was testing it but never came back in Not supposed to be bad and should be ready for Bama I think they really need to have Dolezal in more often, that's what he's there for, even though he probably isn't much of a blocker. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I know you honestly believe that, but I want you to think about what you wrote carefully. Then using your logic to explain how a wild card NFL team could win the SuperBowl, knowing it has happened multiple times. Here is a hint. When the playoffs start, the previous records are out the window and everyone is 0-0 and you step up your game or go home. AND every single one of these players know it because they all played in a system like that in HS. A true college football "win and you are in" playoff system will make college football the most glorious sports in the history of sports. Every year the playoffs will be the most dominate sports event of the years. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The 9th team might bitch that they're better than the 8th team but in the history of NCAAF I don't think a 9th team has ever had a legitimate claim to being #1. A 5th team has. I know you honestly believe that, but I want you to think about what you wrote carefully. Then using your logic to explain how a wild card NFL team could win the SuperBowl, knowing it has happened multiple times. Here is a hint. When the playoffs start, the previous records are out the window and everyone is 0-0 and you step up your game or go home.

A true college football "win and you are in" playoff system will make college football the most glorious sports in the history of sports. Every year the playoffs will be the most dominate sports event of the years. I thought about this earlier this morning when they were talking about the 1-game wild card playoff to get into the NLDS between my beloved Cubs and the Pirates. Here's the deal: Even though I'm a Cubs fan, I'm not in favor of this one-game playoff. The baseball season is 160 games long, and it takes a long time to separate the wheat from the chaff. The more games you play, the less a single game means - especially when the best team in the league "only" has a win percentage of 62.5% or so. A single game is not indicative of who is "better" in such a situation. The Cubs had 160 games and the Pirates were better at the end. Of course, MLB wants to make more money so they throw that extra game in there. At least the other winners are determined by a SERIES of games, now one single game. Football, on the other hand, has relatively few games to determine who is "best". There, a playoff is warranted. Since the win percentages of the "best" teams is much closer to 100%, it stands to reason that the "best" teams SHOULD be able to win a single game if they really are the better team. In that sense, I agree with krpind. I am NOT for increasing the number of playoff teams beyond 8 though. Heck, I'm happy with 4. Of course that's just like my personal opinion, man.  [ETA] The more teams that are in the playoff, the less the regular season counts. That could be good or bad and is purely up to each person's opinion. |

Their only competition is Florida of whom they are currently favored by 6 points over for their Halloween match up. Whereas the West has LSU, A&M, Ole Miss, and Alabama. |

Ok, now EsecPN is just trolling. No way they aren't.
They always tweet/post top 10 every week. This week they tweet top 11 just to include an extra SEC team. There is no way they aren't aware of the claimed bias by fans about the sec. Pretty strong troll. |

I'll give you bias http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/13811373/ranking-20-undefeated-teams-college-football-week-5 1. Florida Gators (5-0): Are they the best team in the nation? No. But they have run the most impressive obstacle course to undefeated (even according to the non-eye test numbers), with victories over American contender East Carolina, at 4-1 Kentucky, Tennessee and then-No. 3 Ole Miss.
. . . . . 20. Florida State Seminoles (4-0): Whipped Texas State and USF and barely beat Boston College and Wake Forest. Jameis' Noles these are not. |

After Saturday's poor showing, the QB question resurfaces at Wisconsin. A blue-chip commit to the team watched Stave drop the ball twice, and toss two INTs, and tweeted a very unflattering comment. It was not unnoticed. "We won't be elite until Stave leaves." Not a cool thing for a recruit to say, but it's hard to say he's wrong. Spin in how you want, mistakes by the QB cost Wisconsin the game. Turnovers gave Iowa all their points, and turnovers cost Wisconsin scoring opportunities - 1st & goal at the 1, and you put the ball on the ground?
 Stave played well through the first four games, actually decent. The Iowa game was a reversion to the mean, another in a three-year stretch of lousy play at QB for the Badgers, and wasted opportunities. His experience is strong, but his execution is weak. I'm sure Coach Chryst won't bench him, but I'm eyeballing junior Bart Houston, and thinking, hmmm....  This Saturday is in Lincoln. A tale of two mediocre quarterbacks, I think. Go, Big Red?

Dawg fans are on suicide watch on Finebaum LOL Tammy just called in to rag on Georgia and Paul turned it around on her and brought up Georgia beating Auburn last year. Then he reminded her Auburn has lost 5 straight SEC games. She melted. She's probably beating the shit out of her husband right now. Even Marcus accused him of throwing gas on the fire. |

texas players are now busy calling each other out on twitter for not putting in the work during the week.
Someone said earlier in the thread as soon as the horns found a QB they'd be back. They've got a pretty darn good QB right now in Heard. But the whole culture over there still looks rotten, even with the young guys Strong brought in who were supposedly going to help fix the entitlement attitude. Must be something in the water over there.
